More about Bea Bea

Bea Bea's fine. She and Mercedes are very friendly, playing and running. They touch noses once in a while. Bea still likes to sleep near her carrier. She stays off of the couch and blue chair (she smells that those are Mercedes) and got a bit hissy when Mercedes started sniffing around the carrier, which was OK. It's hers. Mehitabel is still stand-offish. She comes around and then Bea Bea will show up, hoping. Mehitabel hisses and retreats, but she doesn't retreat very far, so we still have hope.

Bea Bea is so sweet when we come home. She jumps up on the counter or table, stretches out on our newspaper, and rubs our faces. William thinks she's gaining a bit of weight, but says he doesn't have time to regulate her eating habits, as her parents did. We are hoping she will adjust.

Bea misses Mommy & Daddy, and runs to the front door whenever it opens, waiting for them to return. In fact, we were wondering where she was the other day, so I just went and opened and closed (quickly!) the front door. Sure enough, here she comes!

She goes Monday for her surgery, laser de-clawing. Although she doesn't scratch us anymore (much), she is doing a number on our curtains, screens, and various pieces of furniture, plus, eventually she will be around David, so we think this a logical step.

She still plays a lot, with her toys or anything else she can find (like the pear shaped pepper shaker), and loves to get on the counters, behind the small appliances and canisters, although I worry about her wandering around the stove when I am cooking. She enjoys looking out the windows, but I doubt she sees as much interesting stuff in quiet suburbia as she did looking out the windows of her former campus home. We keep telling her that in a few months she'll be at her new digs. But for now, we are certainly enjoying our Grandkitty.
